Rehabilitation therapies in Rett syndrome across the lifespan: A scoping review of human and animal studies.

Purpose: To perform a scoping review of the evidence for therapeutic interventions to manage functional impairments associated with Rett syndrome (RTT) throughout the lifespan.

Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CENTRAL, CINAHL, Scopus and Index to Chiropractic Literature were searched systematically up to December 2019. Two investigators independently reviewed all search results and extracted those that met the inclusion criteria.

Aphonogelia After Recovery From Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: A Case Report.

During rehabilitation from a severe traumatic brain injury, a 16-year-old girl became aware that she had lost the ability to laugh out loud. This rare phenomenon previously has been described as "aphonogelia." A discussion of therapeutic avenues that were explored with this patient is presented in the first case, to our knowledge, of aphonogelia after a traumatic brain injury.

A Systematic Review of Psychiatric, Psychological, and Behavioural Outcomes following Mild Traumatic Brain Injury in Children and Adolescents.

Background: Evidence regarding longer-term psychiatric, psychological, and behavioural outcomes (for example, anxiety, mood disorders, depression, and attention disorders) following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in children and adolescents has not been previously synthesized.

Objective: To conduct a systematic review of the available evidence examining psychiatric, psychological, and behavioural outcomes following mTBI in children and adolescents.

Materials And Methods: Nine electronic databases were systematically searched from 1980 to August 2014.

Magnetic resonance imaging findings of bilateral thalamic involvement in severe paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity: a pediatric case series.

Purpose: Paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity is a complication of brain injury that has mainly been described in the adult brain injury literature.

Methods: We present a case series of three pediatric patients that developed paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity of varying severity following hypoxic brain injury.

Results: Comparison of brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed bilateral and symmetric global ischemic changes in all three cases.

The correlation of dystonia severity and serum transaminases in a child with a brain injury.

Background: Severe anoxic brain injury can lead to prolonged episodes of status dystonicus. Sustained dystonia can result in skeletal muscle breakdown and elevation of serum transaminases, which can initially be confused with polypharmacy-related hepatotoxicity or an underlying metabolic condition.

Patient: We present a 19-month-old boy who sustained a severe anoxic brain injury in the setting of a viral upper respiratory tract infection.
